H. Peter Anvin says that Samba "promotes" symlinks to hardlinks while
Cygwin itself uses .lnk files to emulate symlinks. Avoid using symbolic
link for .git/HEAD on Cygwin.
This does not help the symlinks recorded in trees as user data, but
at least we do not use them for our own bookkeeping.

This adds the counterpart of git-update-ref that lets you read
and create "symbolic refs". By default it uses a symbolic link
to represent ".git/HEAD -> refs/heads/master", but it can be compiled
to use the textfile symbolic ref.
The places that did 'readlink .git/HEAD' and 'ln -s refs/heads/blah
.git/HEAD' have been converted to use new git-symbolic-ref command, so
that they can deal with either implementation.

This is a careful version of the script stuff that currently just
blindly writes HEAD with a new value.
You can use
git-update-ref HEAD <newhead>
or
git-update-ref HEAD <newhead> <oldhead>
where the latter version verifies that the old value of HEAD matches
oldhead.
It basically allows a "ref" file to be a symbolic pointer to another ref
file by starting with the four-byte header sequence of "ref:".
More importantly, it allows the update of a ref file to follow these
symbolic pointers, whether they are symlinks or these "regular file
symbolic refs".
NOTE! It follows _real_ symlinks only if they start with "refs/":
otherwise it will just try to read them and update them as a regular file
(ie it will allow the filesystem to follow them, but will overwrite such a
symlink to somewhere else with a regular filename).
In general, using
git-update-ref HEAD "$head"
should be a _lot_ safer than doing
echo "$head" > "$GIT_DIR/HEAD"
both from a symlink following standpoint _and_ an error checking
standpoint. The "refs/" rule for symlinks means that symlinks that point
to "outside" the tree are safe: they'll be followed for reading but not
for writing (so we'll never write through a ref symlink to some other
tree, if you have copied a whole archive by creating a symlink tree).

The new command 'git merge' takes the current head and one or more
remote heads, with the commit log message for the automated case.
If the heads being merged are simple fast-forwards, it acts the
same way as the current 'git resolve'. Otherwise, it tries
different merge strategies and takes the result from the one that
succeeded auto-merging, if there is any.
If no merge strategy succeeds auto-merging, their results are
evaluated for number of paths needed for hand resolving, and the
one with the least number of such paths is left in the working
tree. The user is asked to resolve them by hand and make a
commit manually.
The calling convention from the 'git merge' driver to merge
strategy programs is very simple:
- A strategy program is to be called 'git-merge-<strategy>'.
- They take input of this form:
<common1> <common2> ... '--' <head> <remote1> <remote2>...
That is, one or more the common ancestors, double dash, the
current head, and one or more remote heads being merged into
the current branch.
- Before a strategy program is called, the working tree is
matched to the current <head>.
- The strategy program exits with status code 0 when it
successfully auto-merges the given heads. It should do
update-cache for all the merged paths when it does so -- the
index file will be used to record the merge result as a
commit by the driver.
- The strategy program exits with status code 1 when it leaves
conflicts behind. It should do update-cache for all the
merged paths that it successfully auto-merged, and leave the
cache entry in the index file as the same as <head> for paths
it could not auto-merge, and leave its best-effort result
with conflict markers in the working tree when it does so.
- The strategy program exists with status code other than 0 or
1 if it does not handle the given merge at all.
As examples, this commit comes with merge strategies based on
'git resolve' and 'git octopus'.

(2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
'index' if that is what they mean.

The reverse patch application using "git apply" sometimes is too
rigid. Since the user would get used to resolving conflicting merges
by hand during the normal merge experience, using the same machinery
would be more helpful rather than just giving up.
Cherry-picking and reverting are essentially the same operation.
You pick one commit, and apply the difference that commit introduces
to its own commit ancestry chain to the current tree. Revert applies
the diff in reverse while cherry-pick applies it forward. They share
the same logic, just different messages and merge direction.

This script uses the list of heads and their origin multi-head "git

The 'git show-branches' command turns out to be reasonably useful,
but painfully slow. So rewrite it in C, using ideas from merge-base
while enhancing it a bit more.
- Unlike show-branches, it can take --heads (show me all my
heads), --tags (show me all my tags), or --all (both).
- It can take --more=<number> to show beyond the merge-base.
- It shows the short name for each commit in the extended SHA1
syntax.
- It can find merge-base for more than two heads.
Examples:
$ git show-branch --more=6 HEAD
is almost the same as "git log --pretty=oneline --max-count=6".
$ git show-branch --merge-base master mhf misc
finds the merge base of the three given heads.
$ git show-branch master mhf misc
shows logs from the top of these three branch heads, up to their
common ancestor commit is shown.
$ git show-branch --all --more=10
is poor-man's gitk, showing all the tags and heads, and
going back 10 commits beyond the merge base of those refs.

This patch renames COPTS to CFLAGS, because it's COPTS that was user
overridable. Also, -Wall is moved there because it's optional. What
was CFLAGS is now ALL_CFLAGS, which users should not override.
Defines are added to DEFINES. Since ALL_CFLAGS is recursively expanded,
it uses the final value of DEFINES.
Implicit rules are made explicit since the implicit rules use CFLAGS
rather than ALL_CFLAGS. I believe that serious projects should not rely
on implicit rules anyway. Percent rules are used because they are used
already and because they don't need the .SUFFIXES target.
